Title: Managing energy Smart Homes according to energy prices: Analysis of a Building Energy Management System
Abstract: The Demand-Side-Load Management will change the way people behave. Different authors have proposed energy management algorithms for Smart Home that either integrates or not renewable energy. All these researches have the same general objective: minimizing the daily energy cost without affecting the comfort of occupants. This paper deals with the performance analysis of a Global Model Based Anticipative Building Energy Management System (GMBA-BEMS) managing household energy. This GMBA-BEMS is able to optimize a compromise between user comfort and energy cost taking into account occupant expectations and physical constraints like energy price and power limitations. To validate the GMBA-BEMS, the model of a building has been developed in MATLAB/Simulink. This work analyzes GMBA-BEMS application that manages appliances such as heating, washing machine and dishwasher from a grid point of view.
